Thanks for the request!

I am SO sorry I let this stew for so long, I have an AWFUL attention span and kept getting distracted by other projects! Here she is ! The video has very strong Jennifer's Body vibes so I lent into that, and went with the cliché 'siren man-eating cheerleader' thing–hope thats good with you!

Thank you so much for the request and your patience! I hope she's worth the wait :)

Hi! Thanks for your question :) First of all, thank you for reminding me that that LOST post was still pinned! I pinned it for a while because a few people for people on Reddit, but I very much intended to replace it with my 'upcoming projects' one and totally forgot! It's all sorted now. Everything on that post will be released, and anything that has been is linked on it :)

Second of all, great question! I find even though it sounds obvious, always have a photo of the person you want to capture the likeness of. Don't assume you just know what they look like. I usually stick with a front profile photo to begin with, then will look at 3/4 and side views if I'm still struggling (but not always, as altering the side profile in Sims can sometimes completely change the front and make it look goofy. I'd rather have an accurate front profile and dodgy side.). I then try to have my game split screen in windowed mode with the photo along side it (if you can't get split screen there are a few apps available to overlay images onto windows) zoomed and positioned so that the real guy's head is the same size as the sim's. From there, I start by trying to get the physical features lined to match their position on the photo and get the size of them correct. Then, I always start with the eyebrow shape (sliders from @miikocc help a lot) and the eyes (again, @obscurus-sims sliders for eyelids will help capture more complicated shapes and hooded eyes). A lot of the time, its actually the width of the neck that makes a sim look goofy so @golyhawhaw 's Neck Width Slider is a life saver for male sims. Just keep going back and forth between the picture and your sim, choose the most accurate hairstyle you can and don't be afraid to download as many CC sliders as you can find as these really optimise the games' sculpting ability.

Hope this helps!

I've linked my favourite sliders below, as well as my go-to hair creators as it really is the make or break!

Hi! That’s really frustrating to hear, I’m so sorry :( the files you have and the files I have are one and the same, and my game is working fine, the only things I can think of are;

1. If MCCC command centre was included in the download, or you have had it in your game while trying my files, I know that the recent update broke it and there is a new version available so maybe try redownloading that!

2. I’ve had a little trouble with CC recently, a few broken, and from memory…the braces variations of @magic-bot ‘s default teeth replacements may have been broken (I included the whole lot of replacements in the CC for the project), I removed them from my game as they were flagged by Tray Importer. Maybe just trial and error it? Try moving your Mods folder out and then running the game, then if the files work (or at least appear in your gallery as usual, I wouldn’t try loading them without the mods) at least you know it’s a CC problem!

3. If, and this is a big if, you’re assuming the files are corrupted because of the way they appear in the gallery (black and white, red, jigsaw-y, question marks), try opening them anyway. I have had a few households in my gallery appear in this way too but load completely fine for some reason.
